Thread: Mancon's Guide to Lucid Flying + Techniques

Mancon's Flying Tutorial

Hi everyone . This tutorial is all about flying in your lucid dreams. I noticed a fair amount of people were having trouble with flying and how to do it.

In this tutorial I will talk about all the basic and some advanced ways you can fly. Some ideas I got from others and some I have made up myself.

Step 1: Confidence! Confidence! Confidence!
Confidence is the key when it comes to any type of dream control. If you don't believe something will happen then it won't! You have to believe. Dreams have NO rules. It is your mind. You can do anything you want. If your feeling doubtful remind yourself that it is your dream and you can do it!

Step 2: The Jump
If you are going to start learning to fly from somewhere high up, like a roof, then you need to realize that gravity DOES NOT exist in a lucid dream. Rules don't apply. When you're starting out NEVER imagine yourself falling downwards. Just imagine yourself going up. Imagine the clouds are sucking you up. Forget everything you know about gravity and just go.
If your trying to fly from the ground just jump up and imagine your legs are springs and shoot up high! Then imagine your self shooting forward, and then head the direction your going.

Step 3: Location. Where Do You Want to Go?
When your flying focus on where you'll be going. If your flying over a long distance then visualize the place and assume it will be there the next time you turn, or over the next mountain, or deep in the valley.
If your flying short distance then look in the direction your heading for any objects. Then focus on that object and imagine yourself going towards it and it will make flight much easier.

Step 4: Choosing a Technique
This is my favorite part of flying. There are so many variations you can do! Here's a list of some of the ones I have made up or heard from others.

The Superman / Neo:
Put your arms out and imagine yourself shooting forward!

The Iron Man
Put on jet boots that will shoot you across the sky!

The Platform
Imagine your standing on a platform and it's pushing you through the air.

Water
Stand in any type of water and imagine it wrapping around you. Then let the water push you up into the air, still wrapped around you. (This will work with earth or fire too)

The Hoverboard
Stand on a hoverboard, press the on button, and go!

Frozone
Stand on an ice platform and skate across the sky!

Swing!
Imagine ropes coming out of your wrists like spiderman and swing across the sky

Let the Clouds Do the Work
Imagine the clouds are sucking you up into the air and pushing you wherever you want to go.

Wind Power
Summon the wind to lift you up and go where you desire.

The Bird
Hold your arms out to your side and flap. Off you go!

The Animal
Summon an animal of your choice and command it to fly with you on it's back.

The Leg Length
Imagine your legs becoming very tall until your high in the sky. Then slowly bring your legs back to their normal height, while your still in the sky.

The Stranger
Ask a dream character to point at you and make you fly where you wish. Why should you do the work?

The Romantic
Go on a lucid date with someone really special to you. Tell her/him your going to take them on the flight of their life. You won't even think twice about flying with them there.

The Catapult
Go to the top of a building and assume a HUGE catapult will be there with a person operating it. Ask them to shoot you wherever you want to go. Hop in the catapult and enjoy! (This also works as a huge slingshot)

The Flying Car
Get in the nearest car you see and press the fly button. Lift Off!

Swimming
Imagine the air is water and swim through it!

Magic Object
A cap,watch,wristband, or anything else! When you put it on you'll start to fly!

The Button
Imagine a button appearing by you that says "Fly". Press it. Your in the air!

The Roller coaster
Sit in a roller coaster cart and imagine a track appearing before your eyes!

Wings
Grow some wings and flap them about!

Step 5: So...How Do I Land?

Confidence plays a big role in landing...just like being able to fly. Most people don't have much of a problem with this, but some do. There are many different ways you can land, just like with flying.

-One way is to imagine the ground actually rising up to where you are flying. Wait until the land touches your feet and then walk around!

-Another way is similar to my "Let the Clouds Do the Work" technique. Instead of imagining the clouds sucking you up, imagine the ground sucking you down!

-If you are flying like Iron Man, look at this bad animation of him landing.

-Pretend you are light like a feather and float down to the ground.

-If all else fails, imagine the ground is a trampoline and just free fall to the ground.

Again, CONFIDENCE is a huge thing when it comes to flying and landing. Keep at it and you will get it! Good luck!
